2. Base curve radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_curve_radius

   Base curve radius, or simply base curve, abbreviated BCR or BC, is the measure of an important parameter of a lens in optometry. On a spectacle lens, it is the flatter curvature of the front surface. On a contact lens it is the curvature of the back surface and is sometimes referred to as the back central optic radius (abbreviated BCOR ).

3. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

   Optics and vision. Vision of humans and other organisms depends on several organs such as the lens of the eye, and any vision correcting devices, which use optics to focus the image. The eyes of many animals contains a lens that focuses the light of its surroundings onto the retina of the eye. This lens is essential to producing clear images ...

4. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

   Chromatic aberration. Focal length of lens varies with the color of light. In optics, chromatic aberration ( CA ), also called chromatic distortion, color aberration, color fringing, or purple fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. [ 1][ 2] It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements ...

5. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

   Vertex distance. Vertex distance. Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing ...

6. Scleral lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scleral_lens

   Scleral lens. Side view displaying vaulted area of a scleral lens. A scleral lens, also known as a scleral contact lens, is a large contact lens that rests on the sclera and creates a tear -filled vault over the cornea. Scleral lenses are designed to treat a variety of eye conditions, many of which do not respond to other forms of treatment.

9. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

   1: Imaging by a lens with chromatic aberration. 2: A lens with less chromatic aberration. In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses, that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point. [ 1] Aberrations cause the image formed by a lens to be blurred or distorted, with the ...
